Here’s Why the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon Costs $330,000 | Watchfinder & Co.

Amazing watch! But take it with a grain of salt, A. Lange & Söhne is owned by the same company as Watchfinder & Co.

[@jimsteinway695]

I can afford one buy why? You can drive any number of super cars for that amount and nobody will give a crap what’s on your wrist

[@stanwilson7040]

@@jimsteinway695 Honestly, there are 100$ watches that'd get you much more attention than this "Datograph"

[@JasonX2]

The dial is perfect without a visible tourbillon, that's Lange's restrained design paying dividends again.

[@duncanbryson1167]

That's what amuses me - exposed on the face: Look everyone, I've got a tourbillon. I'd never pay the money for a complications or a tourbillon even with a Euromillions jackpot. A Vacheron Constantin Patrimony say (date function and second hand) would do me. Anything further and I can pull my phone out.

[@JasonX2]

@@duncanbryson1167 The displaying of the tourbillion has gone too far. Having it but not displaying it is the better look for the watch aficionado imo.

[@DirtFather407]

@@JasonX2 It depends on the watch. Some look good showing it off and some watches look better with the tourbillon only visible from the back

One day in a life of a watch guy you come to the point where you look past all the hyped models, wait lists etc. and just appreciate the craftmanship! A Lange und Söhne is the best watch maker in the world (my opinion). The fact that you can get a discount on them while other watches go for double of their retail shows that most people prefer hype over craftmanship. Thank you for uploading amazing videos!

[@avarmauk]

Lange is next level. If they were Swiss we wouldn’t be debating if Patek was better or not.

[@songoku-jx3cb]

As an overall watchmaker lange doesn’t come close to patek . The history , heritage , wide catalogue , innovations and brand equity of patek philippe are unrivalled . I love lange , their watches are unreal but comparing it to patek as an overall brand is futile .

[@avarmauk]

@@songoku-jx3cb thanks for proving my point. Heritage shouldn’t earn you success, it should earn you experience. Tradition stifles innovation and Patek hasn’t produced anything innovative. The Nautilus looks like a maxi pad I value beauty over heritage and Patek’s complacency in this respect has in my opinion deemed them a runner up.

[@songoku-jx3cb]

@@avarmauk i don't think so . When you have been around for more than century and defined watchmaking to its core you deserve a different place in the book . Patek has made many innovations even in the modern era the mighty grandmaster chime being one of many . But just innovation doesn't define a brand . Patek is known as king of complications for a reason . Patek has made so many watches over its course of lifespan that lange will never catch up in a span of mere 2 decades .

[@avarmauk]

@@songoku-jx3cb None of which are beautiful. There’s nothing outstanding about their watches, just a past reputation that they cling onto. I couldn’t care less about their grand complications, I’m never spending $15 million on a watch I’ll never wear. Useless for anyone who isn’t a billionaire By your measure Breguet should be the best brand in the world. Created more complications and older than Patek

[@songoku-jx3cb]

@@avarmauk beauty is subjective for sure . I find patek grand conplications like 3970 , 2499 , 5004 & 5970 etc very beautiful and You don't need to spend money . There are many who are already doing so which is why patek watches hold their value so well . And lange is not cheap by any means either. They are priced relatively close to pateks .

What more can one provide? this is the closest level to perfection, in my opinion. Gorgeous watch, absolutely stunning. A true piece of art with a deeply sophisticated movement. The very contemplation of this mechanism that marks the passage of time is not in itself a waste of time. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to the creation of this incredible movement, which will undoubtedly become the new standard in the watch philosophy. Definitely worthy to be desired, but most people will only dream about it. Nevertheless, this watch won't stop pleasing the eye and be inspiring just knowing that this masterpiece does exist!

[@ottoe4925]

You know what is even more stunning than this Datograph? - it's a minute repeater... ! But instead of having a Zeitwerk or a Grande Complication with all the other functions of this Datograph on top, I'd like to have it in a simple watch, like a self- winding Saxonia, maybe a Saxonia Moonphase, but nothing else.. . Just focus on the striking chimes. Still, any Lange watch isn't just "haute horlogerie" it's "horlogerie la plus haute".

[@menaseven9093]

I like the fact that the A Lange & Sohn kept their dial clean by putting the tourbillon in the back and visible Through the transparent case. A tourbillon in the front dial makes the dial look ugly. Patek Philippe also put their tourbillon in the back.

[@malekmestiri9715]

[@jackominty3633]

Having the tourbillon on the front would be unnecessarily show-offish, and would distract from the exquisites details on a watch dial as 'busy' as this. On this watch, for the owner - and for anyone lucky enough to be privileged a look - the back is even more outrageously fabulous than a 'normal' (if I can use that word) DataGraph. A Michelangelo on the front, and wait.... a De Vinci on the back! And the comparisons in the comments below with the Richard Milles costing the same price. Yes, really puts things in perspective. BTW, an RM would equate to a Jeff Koons ;-)

[@KristianH1986]

Someone recently asked me why I liked a Lange Shone over patek and here’s the example I gave. Two guys standing in front of me, one wearing an ALS and one wearing a patek. I know they are both successful, I know the guy wearing the a langhe sohne knows about watches and I can’t say the same for the patek wearer. Plenty of patek people who are interested in the hobby, but there are a lot who aren’t and simply want a piece to flex. I don’t think anyone buys als to flex, because no one really knows the brand outside of watch circles.
